In-state CB commits to Auburn

AUBURN | Roger McCreary’s big senior season has paid off.

The in-state cornerback from Williamson has committed to Auburn.

McCreary made his commitment Wednesday night, a day after Gus Malzahn, Kevin Steele and Greg Brown visited him in school and in home.

McCreary took an official visit to Auburn Jan. 12-14 and left with the Tigers his leader. He never wavered.

McCreary chose Auburn over interest from Alabama and Tennessee, and offers from N.C. State, Duke, Southern Miss, UAB, Tulane, South Alabama and Western Kentucky.

McCreary, who also is a standout in track, committed to South Alabama early in his senior season, but reopened his recruitment in December after Auburn offered. Alabama and Tennessee both increased attention in McCreary.

McCreary's senior season stats included 100 tackles, had eight interceptions and 14 pass breakups. He also had 802 rushing yards and eight touchdowns, 62 receptions for 702 yards and seven touchdowns and passed for 600 yards and six scores.

It's no wonder SEC schools came calling.

McCreary, who is six feet tall and weighs 190 pounds, is Auburn’s 23rd commitment in the 2018 class and second cornerback, joining four-star and early enrollee Christian Tutt.
